I signed a promissory note to loan my ex boyfriend $5,000 for

Resolved Question:

I signed a promissory note to loan my ex boyfriend $5,000 for his new computer business. The term of the note is 18 months. He already knew at the time that he was going to leave me for another woman, who he is now living with, and is an investor in the business. I feel this was obtaining the loan/investment from me under false pretenses. Supposedly this was helping "us" by investing in the business and I would later join him in Virginia and work in the internet cafe with hiim. When he took the money and signed the note, he already knew and was living with the other woman. How do I change the 18 months to immeidately since he lied to me?

principal amount of $5,000.00 with 1.5% on any unpaid balance. Payments are payable to the Noteholder at the above signed address commencing 1/1/2010 in quarterly installments to be determined by profitability of the business, including interest, and continuing on the 15th day of each third month until paid in full. If not paid off sooner, this Note is due and payable in full on 6/1/2011.

If the Borrower is in default more than 90 days with any payment this Note is payable upon demand of any Noteholder.

you should wait to sue him if he had not paid you after 1/1/2010, as you did not have any clause regarding your relationship with him. If you start a suit based on fraud, it is more difficult for you to prove as he will deny the verbal agreement.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
